Logan Van Beek (1) fell to Kuldeep Yadav and NZ 'A' slumped to 74 for 8. "Because of 9 AM start, there was something in the air which we were able to exploit," he added. The duo took the score past 150 and looked good for some more before Rajat Patidar's throw from the cover caught Walker short of his crease. At one stage, the New Zealanders looked in danger of being bundled out for less than 100 but some rearguard action by Michael Rippon (61, 104 balls, 4 fours) and Joe Walker (36, 49 balls, 3 fours, 1 six) helped them post 167 in 40.2 overs. Tripathi, who came in after the dismissal of Shaw to Matthew Fisher, got runs without taking too many risks. Rippon was joined by off-spinner Walker and the duo slowly but surely mounted a fight. Sent in to bat by India 'A' captain Sanju Samson, incisive bowling by Thakur and Sen had the visiting team in trouble from the start. In his next over, he had Dane Cleaver (4) caught by Sen.
